“THINK Before You Speak”
VERSE 1
Daddy always told me, “Son, your words can shape a day,”
“They can heal a hurting heart or drive somebody away.”
And I’ve learned the hard way, when my pride got in the lead,
That a moment’s worth of talking can plant a lifetime seed.
PRE‑CHORUS
So now I slow it down…
Let His wisdom come around…
CHORUS
I THINK before I speak,
Is it True, does it stand on the rock beneath my feet
Is it Helpful, does it lift somebody higher than they used to be
Is it Inspiring, does it shine like the light He put in me
Is it Necessary, or just noise I don’t need to release
Is it Kind, does it echo the love He showed to me
Yeah, I THINK before I speak.
VERSE 2
This world’s full of shouting, everybody wants the last word,
But Jesus showed a better way in everything He stirred.
Grace in every moment, truth in every line,
Mercy in the places where the world forgot to shine.
PRE‑CHORUS
So I hold to His way…
Let His love lead what I say…
CHORUS
I THINK before I speak,
Is it True, does it stand on the rock beneath my feet
Is it Helpful, does it lift somebody higher than they used to be
Is it Inspiring, does it shine like the light He put in me
Is it Necessary, or just noise I don’t need to release
Is it Kind, does it echo the love He showed to me
Yeah, I THINK before I speak.
BRIDGE — BIG COUNTRY LIFT
Every word’s a window, every word’s a door,
Every word can heal a heart or leave it on the floor.
So Lord, let my voice be a vessel of Your peace,
Let every sentence be a sermon pointing back to Thee.
FINAL CHORUS
I THINK before I speak,
Is it True, is it Helpful, is it Inspiring me
Is it Necessary, is it Kind, does it sound like the Savior I believe
Yeah, I THINK before I speak…
Lord, help me THINK before I speak.
